Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

I had goulash soup with added paprika yesterday and some dish with sausage and beans just 10 mins ago (lencsefozelek kolbasszal).

Hah, I had goulash once...at a Polish restaurant oddly enough. =D

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

When you go to Chicago, you can almost always spot a Polish person, by the way they dress, look and walk.

Hehe, it's true for the most part. I lived there for nearly 20 years and I can usually spot a Polish person before I even hear them talking =]

I am 3rd generation Polish, and when I introduce myself to new people they ask, so when did you come to America? and what country are you from? Even close friends would swear that I am Russian, and where I work even foreign exchange students think I am one of them!

Hehe, the international students here sometimes think I'm one of them too, but the Americans all know better. ;)

I don't like US boys...

lol, me neither. That's why I got me a nice Hungarian. =D Polak, Wegier, dwa bratanki... ;)

So, what is a Hungarian-shaped face?

round.

Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [450]

I've heard from many people that I kind of look Asian (let alone, I have blonde hair as I said above) BUT I have heard that regardless.

Yeah, I have been told by all kinds of people that I have an Asian eye shape, including Asians themselves.

me too! its probly from poland & hungary

Yeah, I used to get that a lot too. A Chinese person asked me if I was from Korea... Pakistanis have thought me Chinese and "Tai" (not sure if they meant Thai or Taiwanese...)... A half-Japanese/half-German guy thought I was some kind of Eurasian mix too... A Russian said I looked Japanese... A Kazakh said I looked like I could be Mongol or Turk...And both a Pole and an American have said I looked "Asian" (whatever that's supposed to mean...it's a big continent, after all. ;) ). I've had to explain to people that no, I'm not from China, and no, I can not go back there, because I've never even been there once. %) And that the reason I speak English so well is because I was born in the US. Sheesh. It became so tedious always explaining this that I began outright telling people I met "I'm not Asian--at least not to my knowledge--so don't ask." At least, that's what I heard from people who saw me in photos. People who saw me in real life never said that. Go figure. =P

But I don't have blonde hair or blue eyes. My hair's a sort of reddish-brown and my eyes are green-brown. Though I can't claim "100%" Polishness. ;) =P

If anyone's familiar with the "Zakopane maiden" nesting dolls, they should know that at least Gorale can have pretty dark hair.

except for all the polish ladies (esp older ones) colouring their hair the most disgusting shades of red that i could have ever imagined - anything from carrot to some mixture of purple and ruby red - ouch!!

Hey! I've been told I look good with red hair. =P I've dyed it with henna sometimes. But I'm not an old lady.....

Rude to falszywe

Hahaha! It's true! I'm totally dishonest!
